Open doors and drawers. For some reason my wife is incapable of fully closing either... So, if she's still around I'll walk by and slam whichever (not real hard, just enough to get her attention), and not say anything... She'll usually say sorry...

Yeah, I never knew chairs were also drawers, until I met my wife.

Go to pull a chair from under the dining table, and I'm like, "What the....?"

Walking into the bathroom to find nothing but but the cardboard on the TP holder with 20 replacement rolls literally 4' away.

Watching the wife use 1/2 can of hairspray in a single session (99.9% of it barely even aimed at her head) and then listening to the complaints about how dusty the house gets.

Also, my wife has some subconscious need to put my shoes away if they are not on my feet and have been in the same place for more than five minutes. Hers, on the other hand, could sit in one place somewhere in the house until they turn to dust.

Another one...

I'm not as militant as Hersh about the bed but what I do hate is going to get in bed and having it covered in clothes, folded or otherwise, housewares that were laid there for "Just a minute", etc.

Arrggghhh!

That a 12 year old has no clue what a sink or trash can is used for.

Well I do when I'm there. I'm away at work for 2 weeks at a time and I used to clean it before I go back.
When I get back, it's full of crap like banana peel or chip packets shoved into the door pockets. I even found an apple core in the ashtray once
Its covered in dirt and she's usually wiped a little slot to look though the windscreen. I swear she is a reincarnated WW2 tank driver or something.
Just lately, I have been refusing to do it. Normal 2 week wear & tear I can handle but abuse, no.

For me, it's getting into an unmade bed.

Now, if I get up in the middle of the night for whatever reason, I can get into an unmade bed. But, to start the night off, I simply cannot do it. When I get out of the bed, I make it. But, if I leave home first, then the wife- there's a 95% chance that she didn't make the bed.

I CAN'T STAND THAT!!!

So, what are your personal pet peeves.
Hersh...I'm the same exact way!!!! If for some reason I couldn't get to making the bed, I'll make it even if it's right before getting in.

Closer mentioned when people leave doors, drawers and cabinets open. That bothers me too.

And coffee cup rings!!!! How hard is it to wipe away??!!

ok, I cant stand a made bed!! I cant fall asleep with my feet under covers...

also,I hate smacking, sitting on counters, shoes in the middle of the floor, half drank cokes sitting around, lights on, tv's on, sitting on the arms of the furniture..I also hate when I cant find my remotes, or when 2 phones are in the same room. I hate doing dishes, I will wash clothes, but I hate FOLDING. I prefer to do the cooking..it irritates me that my wife sleeps till noon on the weekends...also irritates me that my stepkids cant entertain themselves, everytime they tell me they're bored, I make them clean their rooms...one day they wont complain about being bored

I have a few more, but got to get back to work

Among my many pet peeves...

The "sub-24 hour wash job" on a vehicle, when a squeaky clean truck absolutely must be driven out in a rainstorm, so that less than 24 hours later it looks like you never washed it.

Mindless cell phone chatter...my sis-in-law, who lives 500 miles away, cannot drive home from work in the afternoon without callin her sister (my wife) to talk about...nothing.

Excessively picky eaters, particularly ones who state matter-of-factly "I don't eat that." Makes me wish I could lock them up for a month with nothing but whatever "that" is to eat. Let's see if they really don't eat "that", or do they just not care for it too much.

My twin brother from another mother.....

Except my wife's work related calls for no good reason while we are out are what cause me to draw the line.

I thought I was the only husband on the planet who's wife would call them on their 10 minute drive home just to see what they were doing. "Well, you'll actually be here in 5 minutes... why don't you just wait and see for yourself?" She has actually talked to me all the way into the garage and then not had 5 words left to say about her day when she finally gets in the door.
